London Quilters' biennial exhibition is at
Swiss Cottage Library until 29 May, open till 8pm on weekdays, 5 on Saturdays and 4 on Sundays.
The space is large and bright, and the private view was very well attended-

The foyer area where the issue desk used to be, before it became self-service, gives extra exhibition space -

Among the exhibits, Monica Milner made these discharged fabrics in the
workshop with Bob Adams a couple of years ago - my own fabrics from that workshop are still in the cupboard, waiting...

Christine Restall started her series of fruit prints in another workshop I too attended - I remember her blue apples but can't remember anything I produced! -

My favourite in the show is "the red quilt", a kantha by Veronika Chambers, based on the graffiti in the neighbourhood -
